Auto Accidents

Auto accidents can range from minor collisions to major crashes causing serious injuries or even the wrongful death of a loved one. They may be caused by weather conditions; dangerous road designs; defective automotive parts, such as tires or brakes; and defective automobile designs. One of the most common causes of auto accidents is driver negligence. Some typical examples of driver negligence include speeding or driving too fast for road or weather conditions, failing to yield or otherwise obey traffic signals and rules of the road, driver fatigue, talking or texting on cell phones, and drunk driving or DUI.

Truck Accidents

Accidents involving large commercial trucks, big rigs, and 18-wheelers are often quite serious, resulting in catastrophic injuries or even the death of a loved one. Truckers may be more likely to cause accidents than other drivers because of the difficulty of maneuvering large vehicles weighing thousands of pounds and having limited visibility. Other common causes of truck accidents include improper driver training, fatigue, speeding, or drug or alcohol use, as well as improperly loaded or maintained vehicles, defective truck parts, and unsafe road conditions.

Motorcycle Accidents

Due to the unprotected nature of motorcycles, motorcyclists may suffer serious injuries in what would otherwise be a minor accident for a larger vehicle. The most common cause of motorcycle accidents is the negligence of drivers of larger vehicles who do not see the motorcycle and make sudden lane changes or turns. Other common causes of motorcycle crashes include hazardous road conditions, such as potholes or debris.

Premises Liability

Property owners, including business owners, have a duty to ensure that their premises are reasonably maintained and warn others of dangers on the property that cannot be remedied. If a property owner breaches this duty and a person is injured on the property, then the owner may be held liable for the harmed caused. Two of the most common types of premises liability cases include dog bites and serious slip and fall accidents caused by such property defects as broken railings, broken steps, spills, and other dangerous conditions.

Catastrophic Injuries

If you have sustained serious injuries in an accident, such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, paralysis, broken bones, or serious burns, it is important to contact a personal injury attorney who understands the long-lasting affects your injuries may have on your life. By securing experienced legal counsel early on after your injury, you may be able to obtain the compensation you need to pay for medical treatments to help minimize the consequences of your injuries, as well as for your other financial, physical, and emotional harms.

Wrongful Death

If you have lost a loved one due to the negligence or wrongful act of another party, you may be entitled to recover monetary compensation for your own losses. Our firm assists family members, including surviving spouses, children, and other heirs, in seeking compensation for the financial support the deceased would have provided, loss of gifts or benefits from the deceased, funeral and burial expenses, reasonable value of household services, and compensation for the loss of the deceased's love, companionship, comfort, care, assistance, protection, affection, society, moral support, and guidance.
